Linker Fabricating and Machining, Ltd. out of Strathroy, Ontario is now home to the latest and greatest in waterjet cutting with a brand new Techjst-X3® complete with a PAC 60™ 5-axis bevel cutting head and the TECHNI Quantum NXT™ electric servo pump.
The journey with Linker began with a visit to the 2017 FABTECH show held in Chicago, Illinois. Al Linker, founder and owner of Linker Fabricating and Machining, Ltd. had heard about other Canadian industrial/fabrication shop owners making the change from hydraulic pumps to the TECHNI™ electric servo pump.
AL Linker said:
When at the show, we checked out all of the other competitors. We even set a date for one of the top competitors to pay us a visit. We were very impressed with all that TECHNI™ had to offer, but we wanted to weigh our options.
The maintenance is yet another facet to the popularity of the pump with quick-change seal components at under 10 minutes, being the fastest seal change in the industry. Longer component life and reduced production stoppages equal less downtime and higher profits and lower operating costs.
Mr. Linker states:
We began in 1997 with a Shear and a C&C Break. To have the TECHNI™ today is just awesome! The TECHNI™ was a good fit for us as we have already increased productivity by 50%.” He went on to state, “We look forward to a long relationship with TECHNI; a very good marriage.
